# air-Q Binding
The air-Q Binding integrates the air analyzer air-Q (opens new window) device into the openHAB system.
With the binding, it is possible to subscribe to all data delivered by the air-Q device.
# Supported Things
Only one Thing is supported: The airq device.
This Binding was tested with an air-Q Pro device with 14 sensors. It also works with an air-Q device with 11 sensors.
# Discovery
Auto-discovery is not supported.
# Thing Configuration
The air-Q Thing must be configured with (both mandatory):
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ipAddress | Network address, e.g. 192.168.0.68 |
| password | Password of the air-Q device |
The Thing provides the following properties:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| id | Device ID |
| hardwareVersion | Hardware version |
| softwareVersion | Firmware version |
| sensorList | Available sensors |
| sensorInfo | Information about the sensors |
| industry | Industry version |
# Channels
The air-Q Thing offers access to all sensor data of the air-Q, according to its version.
This includes also the Maximum Error per sensor value.
For the Maximum Error channels just add _maxerr to the channel names.
The rw column is empty if the channel is only readable, w if the channel can be written and rw if it allows both to be read and written.
